Rumble...
In the skies above the Land of Rain, roiling dark clouds accompanied by ominous thunder had been brewing, and finally, the heavy raindrops began to fall gently.
"Drip, drip..."
The sound of the pouring rain covered the entire Rain Village.
At the imposing village gates, a few Rain Shinobi remained vigilant, their eyes scanning the surroundings with wariness. Despite the steady downpour, they did not let their guard down.
However, certain subtle sounds were ultimately masked by the familiar sound of rain...
Inside a towering building in the Rain Village, constructed like dark rocks, a vast conference room was bathed in blood.
"No... please... I beg you... spare me... I... want to live..."
A figure, drenched in blood, crawled helplessly on the ground. His eyes were filled with fear, and blood dripped from the corners of his mouth as he mumbled incoherently.
Around him lay fallen bodies, each with fatal wounds, their faces contorted in expressions of terror.
As if taken by surprise at their own injuries, this bizarre sight was astonishing.
"Patter, patter..."
With the sound of slow footsteps, a tall figure seemed to be walking towards the injured man on the ground.
"To think you've survived; it's quite unbelievable."
The hefty man, lying on the ground and covered in blood, was taken aback upon hearing the magnetic voice. His pupils contracted, and his eyes were filled with fear.
His forehead was covered in cold sweat, whether from his injuries or fear. His trembling lips stammered.
"Please... please... spare me... I... have... to survive..."
At this moment, lightning flashed outside, followed by a loud thunderclap.
"BOOM!"
In that brief flash of lightning, the hefty man caught sight of the elegant young man standing beside him. The young man wore glasses and had a smile in his eyes, his face adorned with a gentle and tranquil smile, as he observed the injured man.
"Gulp..."
The heavily injured man, pale as a sheet, shivered and swallowed hard.
"Is your heart on the right side? No wonder you've managed to survive until now; you're quite the fortunate one."
The young man, standing upright beside the hefty man, slightly raised the corner of his mouth and spoke softly.
At this moment, another expressionless young man entered the room again. When he saw the injured man still alive, his face showed a hint of surprise. He then respectfully said in a low voice, "Captain Aizen, let me take care of this man. There's no need for you to dirty your hands."
Upon hearing this, the hefty man's face turned even paler, his body trembling, and large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.
Upon hearing the newcomer's words, Sōsuke shook his head slightly, smiling as he spoke softly, "No need, Saki. Spare this man's life."
Hearing this, Saki nodded respectfully. He never questioned Captain Aizen's decisions. Everything lay within Captain Aizen's grasp, and his every choice was the most straightforward path to that new world.
As for the hefty man who was by Sōsuke's feet, he began to relax his highly tensed nerves upon hearing these words.
It appears... my life has been spared...
Just as he was secretly letting out a sigh of relief, Sōsuke and Jinnai slowly walked away.
At this moment, a gentle voice resonated softly.
"Remember, if you want to stay alive, cooperate with Jinnai in the performance in the coming time. You should know what to do."
Upon hearing these words, the hefty man's pale face displayed a slight shock.
Jinnai!
All of this was orchestrated by Jinnai!
No... Jinnai doesn't have this kind of power... So, everything is a part of the plan of the young man named Aizen right before his eyes!
Despite his internal shock, the hefty man nodded, his voice trembling weakly.
"I... I... understand."
Hearing his response, Sōsuke, walking away, slightly raised the corner of his mouth and softly said with a smile.
"Hope you will cherish this hard-earned life."
Accompanied by the magnetic sound echoing lightly in the conference room, he and Jinnai slowly disappeared into the darkness.
Only the heavy panting of the man on the ground and the bodies scattered around the conference room remained.
Two hours later.
A group of Rain Shinobi, led by Jinnai, arrived in the towering building's conference hall.
"Creak!"
As the door opened, a nauseating, heavy stench of blood wafted in!
Seeing the scene inside the conference room, all the Rain Shinobi who had just arrived displayed expressions of utmost shock.
"This... what is this?!"
Jinnai was momentarily stunned but quickly regained his composure. He immediately instructed the men to check if there were any survivors on the scene.
Although very young and usually cheerful, Jinnai, at this moment, became the backbone of all the Rain Shinobi present.
Several Rain Shinobi quickly entered the scene to examine all the bodies.
"Captain Jinnai! Lord Kantarou still has a pulse!"
At this point, a Rain Shinobi on the scene suddenly exclaimed urgently.
Upon hearing this, Jinnai displayed a pleased expression and hurried over to the plump man who lay unconscious on the ground. His eyes showed concern as he said in a deep voice.
"Begin the necessary measures for Lord Kantarou's resuscitation immediately. Ensure his safety at all costs!"
"Others, check immediately to see if any other important figures are still alive!"
All the Rain Shinobi present earnestly nodded at his words and immediately began their tasks.
While Jinnai, standing in the center of the scene, usually serious, displayed a slight curve at the corner of his mouth. His slender eyes shimmered with a gleam of a smiling gaze.
...
Two days later.
In a tall building within the Rain Village.
Although looking out the window, it was a gloomy and rainy day, within one of the rooms, there was a plump man staring vacantly at the world outside.
He was still wrapped in thick bandages, looking somewhat listless.
At this moment, the sound of a creaking door reached their ears.
"Kantarou, how is your recovery coming along?"
Seeing Jinnai's face, wearing a concerned smile, his narrow eyes squinting slightly, he entered the room and asked softly.
Several young Rain Shinobi followed closely behind Jinnai.
Upon seeing the smiling Jinnai, the man's pupils slightly contracted and then displayed a grateful expression. He smiled and said, "I heard that I owe my life to you!"
To this, Jinnai smiled slightly and said softly, "You're very fortunate. If anything were to happen to you, Miss Kyo would be extremely saddened."
"Yes, you're right, very fortunate..."
Upon hearing these words, the plump man nodded and smiled, though there was a hint of trembling in the corners of his eyes.
"Then, I won't disturb you. Now that you're recovering well, I won't stay any longer."
As Jinnai slowly walked out, he spoke with a light smile.
Upon hearing this, the plump man watched him with a smile.
As Jinnai was about to exit, he muttered softly, as if speaking to himself.
"By the way... Lord Hanzo has gone missing several days ago... it's unclear whether he's lost faith in the war..."
The voice grew quieter and quieter, then came the soft sound of the door closing.
"Bang..."
Hearing this, the plump man stood stunned in the room, not saying a word for a long time.
...
Several days later.
Jinnai was selected as the interim leader of the Rain Village.
As the interim leader, his main tasks at this time were twofold.
The first priority was to immediately handle the diplomatic relations that had ruptured with the Fire Country and the Wind Country.
The second priority was to prepare the manpower to search for the former Rain Village leader, Lord Hanzo, and the missing high-ranking Rain Shinobi.
In addition, the Rain Village implemented a series of policies during Jinnai to comprehensively improve the daily lives of the village's residents and address their living difficulties.
One by one, the Rain Village residents, who were emaciated and had vacant expressions, were overwhelmed with disbelief, fearing this was a dream that could be shattered with a touch.
However, when they were distributed enough food to fill their stomachs, they believed, and tears streamed down their faces.
They couldn't believe that they, who lived in the Rain Village, could experience such a dream-like treatment!
At the same time, during Jinnai as the interim leader, the Rain Village sent a surrender request to Konohagakure.
